WHATS HAPPENING SUNDAY

Saturday was Day 2 of my self imposed liquid diet....it just seems easy but everyone says that day three is the hardest....had my 4 protein shakes today ....i feel better than I have been feeling. I think the carbs had me by the throat and were making me feel so bad, and even tho I didn’t eat them as much as I use to , it was too much. I am hoping that by doing this I can break the cycle of carbs and bad for me foods ..i am trying to get back on track.

Plus I want to start getting a little bit more of weight loss because I plan on getting that tummy tuck soon and I would like to have this roll off my waist line don’t know if that will do it but will see. What cant be cut off can be worked off lol

 

We didn’t do a whole lot today. We did clean up around the entrys the pampas grass needed to be tidied as well as the front pond area. But we didn’t work real hard...i also cleaned up the iris around the front pond and cut the old stems off the hibiscus in one area. I guess we will get the other side of the driveway done tomorrow. And get all the debris burned....seems like you clean up one spot and two more get messed up ...you think , I get this done and it will look so good and I will be done ...NOPE doesn’t happen. It just makes you have to redo another area lol .

 

Sunday, Today is the 3 day of my liquid diet Sunday, I will have to pray some more on it I  guess since everyone says that day 3 is the hardest. I never had to do this at all so I don’t know. When I had surgery Dr. H.  didn’t do the 2 weeks of liquid diet. You know I really feel better I think doing this. My stomach doesn’t hurt like it normally does ...maybe because im not putting heavy stuff in it. I got up this morning  and have weighed and have lost another ½ pound....yea!!!! im hoping this will get off some of the fat I still have around the middle. I see so much there especially in pictures. It just looks awful....im hoping the rolls will at least get smaller .

 

Well ive got to get busy and clean my house today or one day this week anyway. A couple that we have been friends with for years is coming down from St. Louis  in a couple of weeks....oh I guess I have plenty of time to clean lol ...i will play outside for the next few sunny days...

 

Don’t forget that tomorrow is COF meeting in Springfield anyone who would like to come.  Lake of the Ozark gang come on down if you want ok? We love it when you come to see us..

 

Tomorrow I have to stop at Wal Mart and buy more protein powder....i may have to borrow a couple of scoops from Andy and Susan to make it till we go to Springfield....I have used more of it than normally being on the liquid diet.....Yesterday Susan brought me over some little jello cups that are just the right size ....she said she wasn’t eating them right now. Thanks Susan....appreciate it ....they are good ..

 

 

SANDY:::::: WE  too are so thankful that you and your dad are all right. Gardens can be replanted always...oh yeah if the roundup was on the weeds at least 2 hours before the rain started it will have gotten into them and work....i sprayed an area where I am enlargeing a flower bed  about 2 hours before it rained the other day and it is dying well...I just need to get out there today and dig the first layer of dirt off the top , and discard that bunch of grass ....i will wait another day or so and see what comes up in there and spray again...i know bermuda grass will ...yuck I hate that stuff. It make a pretty lawn but it is impossible to get rid of. Just keep plucking away...

Thanks for the papers you emailed me .....i am using them this month at our meeting. I have made several copies for anyone that wants a copy....

Wish you could make it down to a meeting in Springfield sometime.

Oh my that having to chance a tire in the rain and then remembering that I have road side assistance or something like that is typical me....something I would do for sure.

TELL your DAD  HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM YOU FRIENDS ONLINE.

 

 

 

SUGAR:::::: im so sorry that you had such a bad day for the fish fry...it was cold outside , well down here right in the middle of the day it wasn’t too bad but it started cooling off a lot by afternoon.

I have been worrying about our friend ever since you told me what she did.  3 weeks out of surgery and eating like that.  OMG....someone really needs to tell Dr. Edwards about what his dietian is telling his patients....she wouldn’t even tell a normal person to eat like that so why in the world is she telling gastric bypass patients that.   I wonder  does she hate the idea of wls that she is sabotaging his patients.  Weird.....

 

Have you heard anything from anyone about the reunion yet?  I am going to post it on the board here if that is ok with you and will do so , if I remember, at least once a week...It seems there is always more people reading things on the board on Wed. so will post it then what you think?

See you tomorrow.

 

 

SUSAN::::: congrats on two months today....YEA!!! on the weight loss , don’t you just feel so much better? You look like you do and you don’t seem so tired.  I have some exercise tapes over here at the house if I can ever figure out how to get the DVD player to work lol they aren’t a lot of jumping but stretching more or less and really help a lot I use to do them ....would you come over and do them with me  at least everyother day? I will do them if someone else is doing them too but I cant make myself do them all the way thru by myself.  They really help with developing core strength .

I think we need to build us an exercise building ....

 

 

BARB::::: oh sweetie it sounds like your month is horrible and I cant wait for it to be over with for you. .....sounds like some of my luck at times. Seems like when things start going wrong it is a tumble down a slippery hill doesn’t it....Just remember we are here for you to come and talk to and tell us all about it. I can only hope and Pray that the days start turning around for you ....i am anxious to see you again....Peggy is coming down to the meeting Monday night maybe you could ride down with her. And we could all give you lots of hugs....that would be really great if you could come ....we all love you bunches.

 

 

 

Well all of you that was going to come down to see my flowers have missed all the first blush of spring flowers. All the tulips, daffodils and other spring flowers have gone for the summer but now the BIG SHOW  begins....my lilies are all getting ready to bloom and looks like they are going to outdo themselves this year ....each lilly so far has about 10 or more blooms started on them ....and where I planted one lilly bulb 2 years ago is now 6 to 9 lillys....i will have to thin them out soon.

Plus all the annuals that I planted seeds about 3 weeks ago are sprouting and it wont be long till they are up and blooming . I have some of the best smelling mint , don’t know what kind, growing all over in the back and I have been transplanting some of it to the shade garden room. Want it to make a carpet in there of this stuff ....it never gets more than about 2 inches high , when you mow over it it just barely clips the tops of it. but it smells so good when you walk on it. .....dont know if it will creep over into my flower beds in the shade garden or not ,,,,I may be starting something I don’t want lol

 

 

Love all of you...

I'm just now reading Saturday's messages.  I was thinking you meet in Sedalia.  Springfield is a little far for me.  I live in Raytown, just east of Kansas City.  I work full time so driving to Springfield wouldn't work for me.  Thanks for inviting me anyway.

I did increase the font to small.  Hope that makes it easier to read. 

I did the liquid protein diet for 14 days prior to surgery.  It was tough but I did it.  I've considered doing it recently but haven't.  I keep carbs below 100 a day and have at least 2 protein supplements a day.  Good luck.  Hope you get the results you want!!

 

Good Morning everyone!   I didn't do a whole lot yesterday, just cleaned the living room.  Jan, it's great that you're doing the liquid diet.  I have days when my stomach feels yucky & I do mostly liquids for the day.  I've been thinking about trying to go back to liquids to try to get this last 22 lbs off.  I might try to start that this week.  We'll see.

Our garden is doing terrible!  the only thing coming up is the tomato plants we planted and lettuce.  No green beans, corn or anything else.   UGGG!  I guess we get to replant everything as soon as the garden dries off enough to till up again. 

Today, Lynn & I are gonna work outside, still picking up limbs & cutting the trees up from the storm last week.  Maybe plant some flowers.

Pooh, when is you're next appointment at MO Bar?  since I missed our 6 month appointment, I don't have the date for our 1 yr visit.  I want to go the same day as you & Jenn, so I can see you both.  I miss you guys!!!

I hope everyone is doing great & has a great Sunday!

Love ya all!  Angy

Hi Angy
I have to call and schedual my 1 yr appointment.Will be doing that the first part of june.Hopefully we can all get the same day.
You are doing awesome with your weight loss.Hope to see you at next appt. Will let you know what date soon as i call them.
Love and Hugs Deb

What a great night I had. ;) Today we are having a graduation party for my son's girlfriend.  I think about 40 people will converge on my garden today.  We're going to BBQ and have cake.  I'm going to get lots of good pics.  At least it looks like its going to be beautiful today. YAY!  I won't be able to make the meeting tomorrow.  I'm going to attend Gage's grilfriends graduation.  I think this will be my first meeting I've missed since even before my surgery. ;(  But the graduation is at 7:00pm.  I hope everyone has a wonderful day! ;) Lou
